I would say naninibago. Tapos nag-a-adjust din ako sa sistema ni coach Dante [Alinsunurin], sa mga teammates—so lahat, adjustment period pa ako lahat.&quot;For Laure, patience remains as the key, absorbing all the lessons she could.&quot;Magiging patient lang talaga [ako] kasi wala namang mangyayari kung maiinis ka lang. As long as may mga opportunities na makapaglaro at mag-grow, lahat naman &#x27;yan ite-take ko,&quot; she said.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/volleyball/2026/2/1/how-eya-laure-stayed-in-shape-despite-pvl-hiatus-0004">READ: How Eya Laure stayed in shape despite PVL hiatus </a></div>The outside hitter also dealt with a setback midway through the conference, suffering a groin injury that sidelined her for several matches.&quot;Frustrating kasi may mga laro na gusto kong maglaro, more na kung anong kaya kong gawin, kung ano &#x27;yung nagawa ko against Creamline... I feel like nandoon na ako, pero may mga nangyari na parang back to zero ulit tayo—stop na naman, kailangan mag-rehab at magpalakas ulit from injury,&quot; she said.Still, Laure sees the experience as part of the her and the team’s growth moving forward.&quot;I think on the brighter side, lahat ng pagkatalo at mga ganitong bagay magpapalakas sa amin in the future. &#x27;Yun naman talaga &#x27;yung point, and maging patient lang,&quot; she added.
